Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 slices compliant bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut each chicken breast into pieces approximately 1 inch by 1 inch. You should end up with about 24 pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken pieces into a larger bowl. Pour the olive oil spice mixture over the chicken and toss until all pieces are well coated.
Cut each slice of bacon in half so you have 24 smaller slices.
Wrap each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Try to overlap the ends of the bacon slightly to ensure it stays wrapped.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken bites onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Optional: Turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes to crisp the bacon further, but keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish and serve immediately.
